We were in Midland over the weekend visiting Mark and Kathy. One of the side benefits of visiting them is getting to hear Ronnie White preach at Golf Course Road.
Ronnie and Marsha are friends from young adulthood. Along with lots of folks who are still dear friends, we were part of a small group at Westbury, and it was during that experience that the Whites decided to move to Oklahoma City to study for ministry and Ronnie began preaching. As Ronnie attended Oklahoma Christian, we all got to help provide some financial support. So for a lot of reasons, we feel some ownership in what they have been allowed to accomplish in their ministry.
Ronnie is a gifted preacher. He has an ability to connect with people and to communicate in a very personal way. Listening to him speak Sunday, I can't imagine him in any other vocation. It just seems so obvious that he is doing exactly what he was created to do. I'm thankful that his aspirations as golfer, marketing rep, and entrepreneur didn't work out so that he could find what he really was wired to do -- preach.
